Reviews for IL Piccolo Morso in Leonardtown, MD
So. If you follow me you know I?m allergic to dairy. Most restaurants have options or can adjust mainstay items and I don?t give... them grief for having to wait a bit longer. This was not that. This was bad. This is chicken (meatballs had cheese in them) onpasta (cooked well) with red sauce (extremely bland and just horrible. I had to leave all you can see in the photo. It?ssurprising too. Normally it?s not like this. This was bad. On a Wednesday night. One server. One guy who was afraid to talk toour table. And the owner who was lady to serve tables. I waited more than 10 minutes after the rest of the table was served. They almost finished their meals and no one came to give me a status on my food. I?d look at them and they look away. If thiswas my first visit I?d never go back. Being as this is at least my 10th I will give them one more shot. It is up to you todecide. Read more
We just got appetizers as a meal but they were large enough to make into a meal for 2 people. The customer service was great and... our food came quickly. The mussels could have used more flavor. Salad and mozzarella caprese was great! Extra star since theyare one of the few places open on Mondays in the area. Read more

I found another hidden gem. The service was professional and the food was symphonic. The mussels were cooked to perfection and... had just the right kick. I truly enjoyed the chicken piccata which I paired with the gavi. The meal ended beautifully withtirimisu. I will definitely be back to enjoy another delicious meal. Read more
Il Piccolo Morso was, for me, a restaurant that seemed to hang in the uncomfortable balance between the identity of its menu and... the identity of its environment. On one hand, the menu announces itself as near fine dining: hand-crafted plates withthoughtful pairings and homemade sauces. On the other hand, the ambience of the restaurant suggests something unfinished, rougharound the edges, and emergent. I had sat for a few moments before ordering and admired the menu: its range in context of itssmaller size, its consideration of complementing flavor profiles, and its attempt to cater for a variety of tastes despite beingunapologetic in its offering. Yet, I had noticed that the open ceiling of the dining area blended awkwardly from spacious tounfinished over the bar and kitchen area, where walls stopped short of the air vents and ducts on the ceiling with uneasy space.I had noticed the decor relying on color and contrast over substance. I had noticed the apparent calculation of maximizing spacefor seats while maintaining the exclusivity of those seats. During these opening moments of the night, the first impression Ireceived was that Il Piccolo Morso had prioritized defining it?s menu over designing its space. Naturally, this is the mostappropriate decision when faced with those two options and one that cements the success of the restaurant. However, it would benice to witness the interior of the restaurant flourish in later years of its opening, particularly in table settings, therelationship between wall color and ambient lighting, and wall decoration. Ordering the Kentucky Fig cocktail to open theevening, I found the aroma extremely well-balanced and its flavor profiles expertly married. For an entrée, I ordered theBranzini al Forno, which offered the option of receiving the sea bass with head on, or head off. Stuffed with lemon androsemary, it?s flavor was exquisite. The meat came away from the bones with ease, and the skin (as always) was the seat Read more
Sylvia has done it again . Dinner out with my husband was excellent and her Sangria still stands the test of times. Was sorry to... see cow n fish close, but happy she opened Italian restaurant in town. Small, quaint make reservations!!! Thanks Sylvia awesomeas always! Read more
Great food, atmosphere and service. We were celebrating a birthday and couldn?t have been happier with the experience. We got... the calamari and tempura shrimp & eggplant appetizer. Ossobuco with polenta & duck breast with risotto as entrees. To end thenight a slice of carrot cake. The portions were very generous and since we were saving room for cake, we had things boxed up totake home. We will definitely be returning. Read more
